The SNCASE Armagnac was a large long range airliner designed in France in the 1940s. It was large, heavy and slow so it was not successful, only nine were made and most had been destroyed by 1955.

Design for a long range airliner began in 1942 but wartime delays meant the protoytype Armagnacdid not fly until 2 April 1949 and crashed in January 1950.

The first production aircraft flew in December 1950.

It had a cavernous cabin designed for three tier bunks for over-night flights but this was never fitted so it was a large, heavy and slow airliner and only 9 were made.

Fifteen were planned for Air France but that airline declined to take delivery. Transports Aeriens Intercontinentaux (TAI) took delivers of four but discarded them within eight months as unprofitable and most were broken up in 1955

This model represents F-WAVD flying for TAI in early1953
